Struggling with Diminished Ovarian Reserve? How CoQ10 May Help Beat the Odds
If you’ve been diagnosed with Diminished Ovarian Reserve (DOR), you know how overwhelming it can feel. DOR means having fewer eggs remaining in the ovaries than expected for your age, which often leads to poor responses to fertility medications and a higher risk of IVF cycle cancellations and unsuccessful cycles.
While we can’t turn back time, there is compelling evidence suggesting that CoQ10 supplementation may help. This systematic review and meta-analysis evaluated 1,529 participants with DOR undergoing IVF. The researchers found that women who pretreated with Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) experienced:
A significantly higher clinical pregnancy rate
An increase in the number of retrieved oocytes (eggs)
More high-quality embryos
A substantial reduction in cycle cancellation and miscarriage rates
Lower requirements for stimulation medications (gonadotropins), meaning shorter protocol durations and potentially lower costs.

When you have fewer eggs left, making sure every single egg has the cellular energy it needs to mature and fertilize is paramount. You can read the full breakdown of the data in the Archives of Gynecology and Obstetrics Study. Many reproductive specialists already recommend CoQ10 to support overall egg and embryo quality, but continued research into the possible benefits continue to support its use concurrent to fertility treatment.
How to Choose the Right Supplement: The general rule is to supplement with 600mg of CoQ10 starting 3 months prior to trying to conceive. Many find that they have to take several pills of most over the counter brands. In addition to the correct dosage, your body actually has to absorb the CoQ10. Standard CoQ10 is notoriously difficult for the body to absorb. That is why we recommend Theralogix NeoQ10. NeoQ10 is formulated with patented VESIsorb® technology, making it highly bioavailable and mimicking the natural absorption process of the gut far better than standard oil-based softgels.
Additionally, all Theralogix supplements are certified for content accuracy and purity by NSF® International, one of the world's most rigorous third-party testing programs. This certification means the supplement contains exactly what it should—and nothing it shouldn’t—and the commitment to quality continues with constant re-testing.
